Jemima getting ready to pamper those feet.

Every Wednesday is very special day for the senior’s of Impact Direct, as they are treated like royalty, having their feet and nails pampered. The group consists of 180 seniors broken up into smaller groups of 20-25.

“When we come to have our feet pampered, we feel brand new like a different person, you feel the Love of the volunteers. I can’t wait for the next session” Gadija Joseph who has been coming for the pampering for 2 years.

“It’s an awesome experience; seeing different faces people, knowing that there’s different emotion’s that come along; I love taking the blood pressure, knowing that the pressure has underlying issues, bitterness emotional and unresolved issues; I always ask the Holy Spirit to lead me to edify the people.” Gail Osborne a volunteer at Impact Direct.

The pampering which has been running for 5 years now.

Today the Impact staff treated the senior’s to a lovely movie, Not Broken Easily a movie based on a novel from T.D Jakes.

‘Dave and Clarice have been married forever; yet the things that they do not know about one another could fill up a small house. That is the basic problem in their marriage. They have grown apart over the years, rather than together. How many marriages are the same way?

The upper class African American couple who find that their marriage has fallen into disrepair right before their eyes. Neither one of them seem to be able to acknowledge the truth of the matter. They have gotten used to acting like nothing is wrong until they are involved in a near-fatal car crash and Clarice is seriously injured.

As David fails miserably at his attempts to take care of his wife; he finally admits that he no longer feels needed. Her lack of neediness and her inability to trust him with her fears is at the core of their problems. Suddenly; the wonderful life that they have built is no longer enough. The house, the cars and the material possessions are no longer fulfilling because they both realize that they have lost that loving feeling between them.’

“The senior’s loved the story and said they want their kids to watch it, and related to the story as well.” said Gloria Brooks, Impact Staff member.

The staff was happy that the senior’s enjoyed the movie, perhaps it could become an usual event.

Kyle Jonck Showing the kid's some Maths.

Every Monday and Wednesday, Impact Direct host kids from Kewtown Primary, a school adopted by Impact Direct, which is situated in the less fortunate area of Athlone.

The kids who’s ages range from 10 to 13, have been coming to Impact Direct for the past 3 years, the brain child of Pastor Jenny, who saw the need in the community to show kids that they are not unloved.

Kyle Jonck who has been involved since the launch, while juggling studying for his B.Com in Economics, has fostered a wonderful relationship built on trust with the scholars.

The program teaches the kids about life skills, honouring, listening ,communication, respect, obedience, loving one another as well as educational material such as reading, maths, spelling. A meal is also provided.

” about Faith and Love, she also added its very wonderful to Love, to Love without expectations.
